I have to keep mine clean, as I occasionally have one of the GC's we work for or another employee ride with me.

A rolling dumpster. A policeman pulled me over one day and I wasn't paying attention, he went to the passengers door and opened it. I tried to stop him. He won't do that again.

The outsides clean but the inside looks like I hit a brick wall with a couple of boxes of paperwork on my seat. Cleaned it up when I got home tonight. It will look like a rollover in a week or so.

I try to keep my truck clean but inside gets a bit messy between cleanings. Outside is clean! My trailer gets to be a bit messy also when on a job that I can leave it. Cleaned up and everything put away when its on the move.

Yup me too,I always try to keep the outside clean, but the truck goes from having a 3 person capacity to a 1 person Usually you'll have some papers all over the seat, a couple tapes, notebooks, brochures, clean drop cloths, and as for the floor usually a few half drank icetea bottles coffee cups, boxes of screws, etc. The back I try to do a once over after each job so I can still find stuff.

Re: Whats The Inside Of You Truck, Van, Trailer Look Like?


Damn I feel alot better knowing Im not the only one! My truck can get to be like a landfill inside at times, coffee cups, McDonalds bags, books and brochures. I clean it out about once a month and try to do a thorough cleaning/detailing a couple of times a year. The outside always stays clean and acceptable to look at unless its been raining or snowing of course.

Re: Whats The Inside Of You Truck, Van, Trailer Look Like?


A bad thing about vans is that it makes it pretty easy to collect a bunch of crap. The space between the seats tends to be the worst for accumulations, also the worst for me when it's raining like a cow pi$$ing on a flat rock.

I try to clean it out about once a week BUT......I might need this tomorrow and that and this other thing......... Many times I do.

What the hell am I looking at here? I see it's a 93-96 Ford F-series but, do you mount all your tools to the roof? I don't get it, magnets? Haha, I'm confused!

Re: Whats The Inside Of You Truck, Van, Trailer Look Like?


I was wondering the same thing. I think that I see Velcro but the 'magnetics?' in the back throw everything off. Is Ford back to steel roof liners?

You wouldn't want to be in my truck either. I put cages in the other ones but not in my personal, I might have to live in it someday.

Re: Whats The Inside Of You Truck, Van, Trailer Look Like?


A lot of coffee cups and a weeks worth of various trade tools and equipment pieces of 2x4 and pine, always some lathe and undercourse. Right now a heater and some frozen spackle. I am sure you will find a Bananna peel and empty water bottles. You might find a cell phone number written on a bar napkin if you look hard enough. If so let me know I haVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT. Then you will find a lot of change all stuck together with coffee and such in the console. An American flag on the Dash and a cross hanging from the mirror.

Post some pics so that I don't feel so bad. I'll take one of mine tomorrow, just remember that it's hunting season and I'm almost living in it full time.

Re: Whats The Inside Of You Truck, Van, Trailer Look Like?


No kidding on the collision. Unless my monitor screen is dirty, I see saw blades on the ceiling and pry-bars. "YIKES" the way I drive, I would be a goner for sure.

My self, I drive a GMC Jimmy. Took the rear seat out and built a plywood try in the back from tailgate just up to drivers seat with 11 inches side. I have all my tools in there original plastic caring cases. Everthing has a place and it only fit in that place. My little jimmy may not seem like the typical contractor truck, but I am a one man army and only take small jobs. When I need to carry something I have 2 trailers I pull. One 4 by 8 with an air compresser mounted inside a tool box, and a 5 by 10 to carry fencing and deck lumber.

Oh yea I clean my truck out every saturday. But friday its a rolling dumster. I just hate people that throw there trash out thair vehicles.
